Me too :)
I started sanding the CP, not as easy as it seemed !!! There were remainders of the glue on it that didn't help......I tried using the heat-gun and scraping it off......then sand again....this is going to take some time.
I think there was someone who actualy burnt off the CPO with some liquid ? I wonder if that got rid of all the goo....

This took a whole lot of sanding.....and I'm not nearly finished..... ::)

Replaced the LED's in the vulcano/cone buttons today. Both LED's were not very bright (anymore ?) and one was even weaker than the other (one als had a white color (not the light, but the LED itself) as you can see on the pics....
The old situation..
Other side...
Your last hour has come LED !!! CAREFULLY twisting and turning and pulling until it breaks loose....
This is the result......mmmmm maybe turned a bit too much, but this way the leads didn't break off right under the LED housing.... :D
Pre-tin the leads of the new LED and the metal strips on the switch...
Put the LED in, AND put the lens in !!! This way you can position the LED so that the switch can still be operated....
Solder the RIGHT lead first so the LED is fixed. Then REMOVE the lens and solder the left lead because else you might melt the lens leg !
Clip of the extra length on the LED legs.
The result:
And a little video. That sound you hear is my lens trying to focus in the dark.....nothing else :)
